Lymphoproliferative lesions are among the more common infiltrative processes in the orbit and can occur within the lacrimal gland or elsewhere in the orbit.

Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common orbital malignant tumor in children. When this neoplasm is suspected, urgent action is required in order to establish a diagnosis and prevent loss of orbital and ocular function.
